A senior Hezbollah security official says leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike last year while inside the militant group’s war operations room.

Nasrallah has led Hezbollah, transforming it into a key player in Lebanon's political and military spheres and establishing it as a formidable adversary to Israel.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on September 27, 2023, in an underground war operations room in Beirut. The attack, which also claimed five other lives, led to a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Nasrallah had led Hezbollah for 32 years, transforming it into a powerful political and militant force in Lebanon and a key adversary of Israel
